HA! I posted sooner than I expected to! This chapter is decent I think. I own nothing you will recognize in this chapter. I absolutely love writing fluff, and I think you all discretely enjoy it. I am trying my best to stick to the characters but I hope you all remember that they are a little more mature in this story. I love you all!
One Month Later
The thing about Jesse was that he could be overbearing. Don't get me wrong, I love it, but it is rather irritating at times. Ever since I told him I was pregnant he has been over at my place constantly. I won't lie and tell you that I don't love it. I love coming home and cuddling up with Jesse on the couch watching movies. Okay, maybe I don't exactly watch them but it is still nice to feel a sense of normality. So when I came home and found Jesse standing in my kitchen making me dinner as I walked through the door was nothing out of the ordinary.
"Don't you have a job?" I laughed as I walked through the door, placing my bag on the kitchen counter.
"Yes, but you take precedence over everything." He grinned as he turned back towards the stove. "How was your day?" He asked. I sat down at the kitchen island as and shrugged my shoulders. I bent down to slide off my boots and grabbed my stomach.
"It was good." I mumbled. I was a 6 and half weeks along now and it was such a weird feeling to know you have a baby inside of you. Just knowing there were parts of me and parts of Jesse growing inside of me made me happier than I ever thought I could be. I was extremely careful about everything I did. My mom went through quite a few miscarriages before having me, and I just really worry that it could happen to me.
"I'm glad." Jesse stepped away from the stove and slowly made his way over to me, leaning down to give me a gentle kiss. I smiled against his lips before wrapping my arms around him and pulling him closer to me.
"I missed you." I admitted as he squeezed me gently. He stepped back and placed a soft kiss on my forehead.
"I missed you too, a lot." He grinned as he turned back towards the stove. I took that as my cue to leave and go change in to comfier clothes.
After a quick change in to one of Jesse's old Treblemakers t-shirts and some yoga pants I grabbed my phone and plopped down on to my bed. I scrolled through my contacts and highlighted a few before typing a message.
Dinner at my place tomorrow 7. I hope you all can make it. I have some news for you! Love you, dorks! xoxo
I hit send and laid my head back on my pillow. I guess it was finally time for me to break the news to our family and friends. I knew I wouldn't be able to have Melissa and the rest of Jesse's family come and fly out within the span of a day. I had sent the text to Chloe, Demi, Taylor, Aubrey, Donald, Benji, and Amy. Those were all the friends I knew would come that lived within driving distance. I knew I was going to be getting a few phone calls from the girls so I decided to turn off my phone and get up from the bed. I strolled my way back in to the kitchen, walking up behind Jesse, and wrapping my arms around his waist.
"What's for dinner?" I asked as I let go of him to lift up the lid on the pot.
"Why are you so nosey?" He laughed. I raised my eyebrow and looked down in to the pan. We were having sausage and peppers. He knows my favorites, and not to mention Jesse is an amazing cook.
"I am allowed to be nosey in my own home." I smirked and he immediately looked down in to the pan. Fuck, Beca. Way to go.
"I have been wanting to talk to you about that…" He mumbled, turning the heat down on the stove.
"I think we should move back in to together." He turned towards me. I nodded my head slowly. I just got this apartment though. I was growing attached to it.
"I wanna stay here though…I just got this apartment and I want this all to work. I am starting to grow attached to it. I don't want to be left without anything again. I worked really hard for all of this." I commented, and he nodded. He looked slightly hurt by the comment, but I just shrugged it off. There are no secrets in relationships, Beca. Remember that.
"You're more than welcome to come and live with me, Jesse. I have actually been thinking about it for the past few days. You already do pretty much live here. I have the other room for our baby, and I think we could grow here and then in a few years we could buy our own house." I smiled and walked towards him. I wrapped his arms around me and rested my head on his chest.
"You're so different than how you were when I first met you, love." He sighed and kissed the top of my head.
"You're not afraid of this anymore are you?" He asked. I shrugged my shoulders and pulled away to grab some plates.
"I will always have some sort of fear, Jesse. I always feel like you're too good to be true. I wish I would have recognized this a long time ago but I don't want to be without you. So, will you please move in with me?" I asked, leaning back on the counter on my palms. He grinned and stepped right in front of me. He leaned down and kissed me again. I swear I felt something moving in my stomach, probably just butterflies. It was too early for me to be able to feel the baby move, but maybe the butterflies are a sign.
"Yes, of course I will." He grinned. I sighed and let out a small laugh.
"You may not want to after I tell you what I did." He looked down at me confused, and then final continued.
"I invited our friends over tomorrow to tell them about us and the baby. I think it would be good to finally let them know." He seemed to agree because he nodded his head.
"We will have to take a trip over to the east coast to tell your family and mine soon though. I will take some time off of work. You can do that." He started to dish out the food on to our plates and smiled at me.
"That sounds like a good idea, babe." I sighed happily. Everything was finally falling in to place.
I told Beca that I would take care everything today and made sure she didn't have to worry about a thing when it came to this dinner party tonight. I knew she was already stressing out about telling everyone, especially her girlfriends. So I left work early that day after finishing composing and submitting it to my boss for review I quickly left and made my way to the grocery store. Beca told me that pasta would probably be the best option. Every single one of our friends enjoyed pasta.
After arriving home and showering I quickly made work in the kitchen, and started the pasta before Beca arrived home. I glanced at the clock and sighed it was 5:30 already. I pulled out plates and started setting them around the dining room table when Beca walked in from work. She looked exhausted.
"Hi, baby." I greeted her with a smile and put down the rest of the plates and kissed her quickly before darting back over to the table and finishing setting up.
"Hi, I am going to go and get ready." She mumbled and headed towards our room. I knew she would feel better after the shower.
I sighed as I heard a knock on the door an hour later. I knew who that was. Aubrey was the one who was always early. Beca was finishing getting ready so I had to be the one to open the door and greet our friends.
"Aubrey!" I smiled as I opened the door and she just stood there, shell shocked. Okay, so maybe she didn't know that Beca and I were back together. I mentally face palmed myself.
"What are you doing here?" She asked, and I sighed. I stepped away from the door and let her come in and noticed Chloe was standing behind her. This should be fun.
"Beca and I are back together now. Have been for about a month now." I shrugged my shoulders and was immediately tackled in to a hug by Chloe.
"Oh, I'm so happy! This has to be the news Beca was talking about! I knew you two would end up back together!" She grinned and I nodded slowly. I couldn't help but notice the slight glare from Aubrey. I know that winning her over was going to take time once again. She has no clue that her best friend is pregnant. I should probably just go and rip my own balls off before she does.
Once everyone had arrived we all sat around the table, and Chloe was pretty much having an aneurysm. Having Taylor Swift and Demi Lovato sitting in your apartment was definitely a weird feeling. We had to keep Chloe as far away as possible from Taylor. She was the ultimate Taylor fan girl.
"So what is this news, Swanson?" Donald asked as he scooped a plate of my famous alfredo onto his plate. Luckily the rest of our friends had taken to having the two girls really well. I think they were all even becoming friends.
"It's not really my news to tell." I laughed and Beca pinched my leg underneath the table.
"Sorry." I mumbled, leaning over and placing a soft kiss on her temple.
"Well…" Beca started. I looked around the table and took in this image. I looked at Benji in his Star Wars t-shirt and Donald in his glasses. Every single one of our friends probably weren't expecting to hear what they were about to hear. I closed my eyes; I didn't want to see everyone's reactions.
"I'm pregnant." Beca chuckled. Congratulations were heard among the table and I sighed happily. Chloe was practically bouncing in her chair and she lunged at us when we finally told her the news. I knew that our friends were going to accepting.
"How far along are you?" Taylor asked ; her eyes wide.
"A little over a month." Beca answered. I squeezed her hand under the table.
"So Swanson just strolls back in to your life and you let him knock you up?" Aubrey grimaced. I winced as I felt Beca tense up next to me. Everyone at the table turned silent and turned to look Aubrey. I can't believe she was starting this right now. I rolled my eyes and rested my elbows on the table, resting my head in my hands.
"Yeah, well it wasn't planned. It just happened, Aubrey. Calm down." Beca sighed. Aubrey nodded and took another sip of her wine.
"Well I'm happy for you." She mumbled. I looked down at Beca and she relaxed slightly.
"Thank you." Beca replied. This was the easy part though… we still have our family to tell.
Please tell me what you all think! I love all your reviews!
